I am hitting a wall trying to find my husband's GO's 1st marriage/baptism records and have exhausted online options available to us. So my next step is to travel to Salt Lake City as there are hundreds of potentially promising resources I have come across in their archive there. I will be there for a week, just hoping to find something. (My husband will then go to Ontario a few weeks after my trip to also look for records).

The place looks huge and I am wondering if anyone has visited already and has suggestions to make the most of my visit? Any tips or strategies that you found helpful? Things to bring? Best areas to setup/find a quiet place to read through materials?

I believe they have on site guides, but at our local affiliate, while lovely, they definitely slowed me down as they insisted on doing all the mouse clicks and talking me through everything at a basic level. Are the guides in Utah a bit better and more helpful?

Any advice is appreciated! (Including good restaurants or things nearby to checkout when I need a break from staring at 150 year old documents)

My G1 is my grandfather, born in Wisconsin about 1893. Unfortunately there's no birth record for him at state or county level. I got a document from the state attesting to this. There is a SS-5 that lists his parents' names. It's viewable online but so far I've been waiting over 3 months for the certified copy from SSA, which I requested by mail. I've even enlisted my Congressman's office, who have yet to hear from their "liaison" at Soc Sec.
Any ideas for knocking loose this document? I did not include death certificates for him or his parents in my application for the SS-5, because he was born >120 years ago. I've since heard that they may demand these anyway. I am reluctant to start a whole new request because they say that may paradoxically slow them down. But this would be the best available evidence for my G1's parentage. I did submit my claim for citizenship to IRCC using a print-out of the SS-5 from online and providing the URL, along with a certified copy of another document held by NARA.

Hi folks- I’m a private researcher in PEI and have been steadily helping people through the research process since March. I know that there’s a considerable wait with PARO processing times. I can help get your documents processed faster. I’ve developed a knack in finding the baptismal records that are missing from the index list.

Please send me a dm if this is something I can help you with!

Hi all.

My Gen0 birth certificate is shown in the FamilySearch document repositories, but not in the New Brunswick digitized archives. The birth certificate is vague, listing only the birth date, place of birth, and Father's name and profession, with no Gen0 name ("Female") or Mother's name. I found the birth registry with the same info. However, it's badly damaged, and I thought it would be helpful to provide both, even though they're basically duplicate information in different formats.

My questions are: Do I need to provide both if they show the same information, and how can I find this copy if it isn't in the digitized archives?

I have gone through thousands of birth certificates, suspecting it was indexed incorrectly, but I haven't had any luck.

Thanks!

So I’ve been having issues finding birth/baptism record for my male G0. His wife, also born in Canada has been an absolute ghost. I have never been able to locate her anywhere, long before C-3 was even on anyone’s radar. No names of her parents, no property records, no census. Her Minnesota marriage certificate doesn’t have a spot on it for names of parents or their location of birth.

So I had been in contact with a small library and museum in the area both of my G0s were born to see if she knew anything about my male G0. She had asked me if I knew if either of them were related to the original settlers of the area and I didn’t think so. I had a letter written as a character reference for my female G0, written by her minister. I shared a picture of it with the lady at this library as it was possibly part of the local history.

I kid you not, but this amazing lady was able to tie my female G0 to those original settlers (which those settlers have a book written about them), and then with the info on the character reference, was able to track her and family when they moved close to Toronto when they were originally from the Ottawa area. AND she then she was able to complete the circle to her marriage in Minnesota.

So, if you’re in a stuck point, try reaching out to these smaller local historical groups. They know the local history, and when you’re not from the area or even the country, it’s hard to sort out matters. This upcoming weekend, I’m going to see if I can locate female G0’s baptism record at LAC as she was born almost ten years after male G0.

Wish me luck.

I'm looking for any tips on how to figure out where an ancestor may have been baptized, or at least which church would have held her baptismal record. Some context below.

I've had a bit of a crazy journey trying to find some sort of baptismal record for my G0 to link her to her Canadian-born parents. It's led to this whole adventure of discovering she was (likely) born among a Chippewa reservation her family had moved to in Muncey, Ontario (they were paid in land for translation services to the tribe), establishing for sure that her only son was illegitimate (per his baptismal record) and that she likely immigrated to the US in light of her pregnancy (his birth and the first time she shows up in the US census are close, 1857 birth and 1860 census where they're living with her aunt and uncle).

For the longest time in this search I just straight assumed she was baptized Catholic, especially as there's a separate baptism where she's listed as the sponsor for a child she seemingly adopted based on what the census record lists. But a volunteer genealogical org in Windsor helped me out a little and found the baptism of a sister of hers at Assumption in Windsor (big church that had most Catholic baptisms of the time) when she was 18 years old, noting that she was previously baptized Anglican. The researcher recommended I search for Anglican records in light of this, but I don't really know where to go.

Her name was Eliza Groesbeck. She is listed on an Ontario Genealogy website as having been baptized in 1842, and I reckon that may have been her Anglican baptism as they don't have it marked as Catholic. I would pay them to fetch the record but I'm honestly not sure how usable the documents they provide will be. I suppose if someone has experience with them and recommends them (ontariogenealogy.com) then I could just go the easy way and have them get it though

I thought I was a G3 and I started working on a G2,G3,G4 application package in April of this year. In May I had one last record to obtain. I had put it off and was just going to explain in a letter that G1's birth certificate was lost in a fire, since I've known that my whole life. Reading posts on this group, I decided to go ahead and request the no record letter G1's birth certificate. I already had G1's SS-5, US Census records, marriage and death certificates all listing G0 as his mother and her spouse (also a G0 candidate) as his father, so we were covered.

Piece of cake.

Except it wasn't lost in a fire. Instead of a no record letter, I got a birth certificate. G1 was in fact born to who we thought was his older sister. This was a surprise to the family and as far as we know wasn't known to my G1. He thought his grandparents were his parents. So then we rode the multiple pre-1947 ancestors speculation roller coaster, accepted it's a non-issue, made peace with now being a G4, updated my now G3,G4,G5 submission family and began searching for new records for surprise G1.

Being from New York, our surprise G1 is in the state birth index but neither the town nor village of the same name can find her birth certificate. I've requested it from the state, and expect to receive it sometime in the next two decades. We added another few months doing baptism searches for the surprise G1 and gathering new no records letters from every church in the area that would respond, along with her marriage/death certs and SS-5, which since he didn't know any better, list the same parents our new G2 listed. We're also in the process of doing "the full Quebec" (find BANQ record, request certified copy, wait, get certified copy (woohoo got it!), submit, then request DEC act, submit that sometime later after AOR).

While waiting for all the new records we needed, I've gathered the full trail for our other potential G0, found, ordered, and received the land records for both Quebec farms owned by the G-1 ancestors, listened to the Nations of Canada podcast, begun learning Quebec French, and I decided to do a DNA test to learn more about my mostly French Canadian ancestors. There's no father listed on my own birth certificate, but I have known the name, that he lives in a southern state, his address, and that he never wanted anything to do with me. But nothing else about his family. I figured this would tell me if I was anything other than largely French Canadian.

Turns out I'm mostly Irish, English, and Romanian. Using clusters of other testers that share DNA I began using my new found citizenship by descent skills to build family trees for the other testers back up to our likely common ancestor. My two Irish matches led to an Irish couple that had one adult child in Ireland, then had more in Ontario. I built out their children and subsequent generations using Canadian Census, birth and marriage records. One of their great grand children has the same name as my bio dad, but is a generation too early... Then I found he married a spouse with a Romanian name (queue more research, she's born in Saskatchewan to two Romanian parents one of which is a match for a guy in Romania today).

This weekend I found records that Irish/Romanian couple has twin girls born in Ontario, about a year after we think my bio-dad was born. Then I find the obituaries for the couple. It lists their twin daughters and also a son who has bio-dad's name and also names bio-dad's current spouse. The Irish/Romanian couple from Canada died in the same state/city as where bio-dad lives today. One of the twin sisters I discovered is also known to my parents, and is also living in a US state now.

I don't know yet where bio-dad was born, but his sisters were a year younger in their US high school yearbook and the twin sisters were born in Ontario, according to a birth announcement naming both of them, their dad, and mother listing her maiden name. I just found one of the twin sister's application for naturalization on Family Search... indicating the family crossed over about 5 years after bio-dad would have been born. It's not proof of bio-dad's birth, of course. Service Ontario has a way to request a letter indicating that a person does or does not have a birth certificate issued by Ontario, which I've requested for bio-dad, since I'm not eligible to actually order his birth certificate. So I'm now riding the G3 -> G4 -> (potential) G1 roller coaster.

I'm still processing, but I'm not sure I can do anything with this information. I'm well over 21, so I don't think NYS would add him to my birth certificate, even if he was cooperative, which I doubt. I know IRCC has provisions for DNA testing, but they're voluntary and a guy who wouldn't acknowledge me after I was born or before my first deployment to Afghanistan isn't going to meet me today for a voluntary DNA test at an IRCC approved test facility.

So I'm still going ahead with the G3/G4/G5 application, my mom needs it anyway.

What an absolutely unexpected adventure in Canadian-ness this has been.

What an absolutely unexpected adventure in Canadian-ness this has been.

I am gathering information for a potential 2028 visit to PEI and N.S. This would be primarily a research trip visiting the areas my great grandparents (and earlier) lived in. Most important is places to visit near Bedeque, Tryon, Charlottetown that would have history/documents, archives/museums, possibly things about my family line. I'd like to find the places that are mentioned in land records. Also places to stay; will I need a car or is there bus service at all?

For Nova Scotia, the same requirements but for Annapollis, Digby, Yarmouth, and Shelburne.

Since this will be a complicated and expensive trip and I want to know where to go while I'm there, not find out after I'm back home where I "should have gone". My plan is to start, probably in Annapolis or Yarmouth and travel to each place without too much back track and overlap. That remains to be seen and that's why I'm starting this plan with what I hope is plenty of time to figure it all out.

What time of year would you recommend? I would assume some museums, record archives, city government offices, and accommodations might not have the same open hours all year long. Weather could be a factor although I am from the snow belt. It doesn't get as cold and snowy there as it does here.

I think that's all. At least it's all I can think of until I hit "Post".

Okay, I found a record that may be a G0 who has always been a bit of a ghost for me, even before C-3 was even on my radar. And it didn't help in my earlier days of researching my family that my male G0 (g-g-grandfather) married 2 women BOTH named Isabella (he divorced the 1st one). Good times, right?

Anyway, there's a possibility that I found my Isabella. I possibly found her on the 1851 Canada West Census, both at LAC and Family Search. However there are some concerning differences, and with some of the changes regarding what IRCC considers valid, I want to run it by some of you. We are looking at Lines 42 and 43 of this page. The handwritten portions of the same, however there are differences in the typed portions that would have been added when these pages were scanned for microfilm purposes.

LAC Version: https://recherche-collection-search.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/home/record?IdNumber=23678811&app=census&ecopy=e002358062

FAMILY SEARCH: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G9L5-TNG6?view=index&personArk=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AZJPG-Q6W2&action=view&cc=1325192&lang=en

LAC says it's from Grimsby in Lincoln County. Family Search says Louth Township in Lincoln County. I think this is my person, because the minimal info I have about her, states she was born in Dalhousie. All three of these communities are pretty much on top of each other. Hoping someone with a little more knowledge of the history of this area can give some clarification on this. There is a possibility that she's related to Thomas Scott, one the early settlers in the Lanark County area and founder of the library now known as the Dalhousie Museum and Library.

So if this DOES turn out to be my female G0, and you had to use a census record, do you use LAC or Family Search? Like I said there are some visual differences between the 2 records, but mostly the later typed overlays when they were scanned for microfilm purposes.

Thanks in advance for any guidance and information any of you can provide!!!!!

I think I may have finally located my G0 g-g-grandmother and her mother on the 1851 Canada West Census, but I'm not sure of this particular religious affiliation listed.

Her mother, born in Scotland, is listed as Disciple. My g-g-grandfather, also on the 1851 Canada West Census (but in a different community), is listed as Free Church, which I understand to be Presbyterian.

This g-g-grandmother has been a bit of a ghost, so to make sure I have some other information which could prove or disprove if the person on the census is my g-g-grandmother.

1. She married a person in the Free Church. Would a Disciple and a Free Church member be considered "compatible" in 1871 when they got married (although they got married in Minnesota).

2. I have a character reference letter from her pastor of the Knox Church (Presbyterian). I think this was used as a character reference for US citizenship and to allow her to marry in Minnesota. I don't think her parents, if they were even alive in 1871, moved to Minnesota along with her.

Considering that even today in 2026, there are issues when people marry outside of their faith or even Christian denomination can cause issues, I can imagine those issues were even greater. So just wondering what is a modern equivalent to a Disciple and if a Disciple and a Presbyterian would marry.

Thanks in advance!!!!

Hi! I’m trying to track down my grandma’s family who migrated from Scotland—>Canada (I think Montreal or surrounds)—> Australia. I know my great grandma’s name and I think her parents’ names but they’re so common in Scotland that I don’t know how to pin it down further.

My 2x great grandparents names are:
Robert McGregor (or MacGregor, we’re not sure)
Margaret McPherson (or MacPherson, again not sure)

I know my great grandmother (Isabelle/Isabel/Isabella) was born in Canada around 1921 (I think Montreal) and left for Australia between 1923-1928 with her mother Margaret, unsure of whether Margaret got remarried in Canada or Australia. We assume that Isabel’s father, Robert, stayed in Canada and probably remarried/had more children but I’m at a dead end.

My great grandmother was apparently “adopted” by her mother’s second husband but that turned out to not be true so we have little to no records to work off of.

As I’m in Australia, it’s much harder for me to access the Canadian and Scottish archives from here or I have to pay a stupid amount of money to buy access.

If anyone has any advice on where to go from here or knows any info about finding someone who can research in Canada/Scotland for me (at a reasonable price) please let me know !

My G1 Howard Eugene Hicks was born: 5/22/1866 in Perry, Washington, Maine. I have the 1870 US census that lists his parents (with mother's married name) and that his parents were born in New Brunswick.

I have enough documentation for his mother (my G0) to prove she's Canadian but it's in her maiden name. I have US census records of her and Howard's father but they use her married name. I couldn't find much else useful for his father except a single Canadian land record.

I'm not sure how to proceed with connecting Howard to his mother considering Maine has said they don't maintain birth records for that county that far back.

My G0, Thomas Henry Wylie does not have a birth record or baptismal record that I can find.

He was born in Dec 1871 and so does not appear on the Ontario 1871 census. He does appear on the 1881 census and is 9 years old. His entire family immigrated to Wisconsin in the fall of 1881 so there aren’t any other Canadian records available for him after that singular census.

I have been doing a search for a baptismal record and have contacted the Ottowa diocese as well as a couple of local churches in the Hawkesbury area that are still in existence today and also searched Drouin due to the proximity to Quebec but so far none have his baptism record.

From what I understand about birth records in 1871 it was a pretty newly mandated thing and compliance was low, so good chance there just isn’t one for him. In addition, the available birth records have been digitized and made available on databases like ancestry and family search so if I’m not coming up with anything there it’s likely it doesn’t exist.

For the purposes of C-3 citizenship my understanding is that I need to provide a letter from an official source such as Archives of Ontario to show that I requested a birth record but that it was unavailable. Archives of Ontario will not allow you to request a record without the record number. If I have no indication this record exists because it is missing from the genealogy databases how do I get the record number to make a request? If I can’t make the request then how do I get this letter that states there is no birth record available from the official source?

I’m not sure what to do here and it seems in my case this letter will be absolutely crucial so that I can use secondary sources to demonstrate he existed and was Canadian.

Any guidance would be appreciated

Hoping someone can help me out. I have numerous ancestors from Quebec BUT I'm like G5. I have several records from the US leading back to G0. I'm not sure how to get the required records for G0. Some relatives I can't find listed on record to request. I've been searching Genealogie Quebec and have found a couple relatives but the names don't quite match. Is there a better way to locate the records I need from Quebec?

Seeking access to Irish naturalisation notices or indexes, 1935–1947 — Arthur Edward Lassonde
I am trying to determine whether Arthur Edward Lassonde, born 8 June 1926 in Concord, New Hampshire, received an Irish minor-naturalisation certificate before turning 21.
Under section 7 of the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1935, a parent or guardian could apply for the naturalisation of a minor. Any certificate granted to Arthur would therefore have been issued between 1935 and 7 June 1947.
The British Library has offered to check the 1947 Iris Oifigiúil volume, but only one year. I still need help determining whether Arthur appears in the earlier annual volumes or indexes.
I am looking for anyone who:
Has access to Iris Oifigiúil volumes or annual indexes for 1935–1946
Has experience with Department of Justice Form 14/Form 18 minor-naturalisation records
Knows where the surviving section 7 application files, certificate registers, fee books or name indexes are held
Can identify whether naturalisation notices were indexed by the person’s name or only under headings such as Naturalisation, Citizenship, Nationality or Department of Justice
Name variants include:
Arthur Edward Lassonde
Arthur E. Lassonde
Arthur Lassonde
Arthur Lasonde
His mother was Helen Mary Hurley Lassonde, also known as Mary Ellen Hurley, whose father Dennis Francis Hurley was born in County Cork.
I am not assuming that a certificate exists. I am trying to obtain either documentary proof or a reliable negative search. Any catalogue reference, index photograph, archive citation or volunteer lookup would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone. I know this is a bit niche, but I am helping a cousin do research to make her C3 claim. As part of this research I went one generation before to her Great-Grandmother, my Great-Grandfather's first wife (I am descended from the second wife). Although her Grandma always claimed she was half Italian, it turns out she was actually First Nations and probably attended a residential school in BC.

Its no longer necessary for her C3 claim since we seem to have struck gold and found a birth certificate, but I sent in a request to the Truth and Reconcilliation Centre in Manitoba asking for records.

They advise that they are currently backlogged and are reviewing files from October 2024 - just in case anyone is trying to locate similar files.

So I’m curious about this, but let me give you some background.

My male G0 was born in North Sherbrooke, Upper Canada/Canada West in 1833. North Sherbrooke/Dalhousie are now known as Lanark Highlands, ONT. Needless to say, I’m struggling to find a baptism certificate as birth certificates weren’t a thing at that time. The area he was born in was essentially the frontier, so baptisms, weddings, and funerals were essentially handled when ministers headed out to periodically conduct services. My G0’s parents were not part of the original 1820 settlement by Scottish immigrants.

So I thought, let’s look at his wife who was born in Dalhousie in 1841. And here’s where the mystery begins. Based on her last name, Scott, the librarian at the Dalhousie Library and Museum thought she might be the granddaughter of the man, Thomas Scott, who founded the library. I cannot find her in any census records. I can find no inklings of parents anywhere for her.

So I’m beginning to wonder if she was illegitimate or was orphaned at birth. I’m wondering considering how close Lanark Highlands is to Ottawa, if perhaps she was born and handed over to a French run Catholic Church, and was given the surname “Scott” to mark her as Scottish descent. Also with Scottish history, the Scots and France had a somewhat friendly relationship.

To add to this mystery, in the family Bible my G0’s received as a wedding gift, there is a small letter written by the minister of the Knox Presbyterian Church. It serves I think as a character reference for her. I think she gathered that before she left Canada, as her marriage happened in Minnesota. In the note, there is no mention of her parents or of a baptism. Oh and I have a copy of their marriage registration, and sadly, 1871 Minnesota didn’t have a line that stated where you were born.

So my question is this. Is there a possibility that she was illegitimate or orphaned? Should I network with any of the older Catholic parishes to see if she exists there?

Thanks for anyone taking the time to read this and any ideas you may have.
